Truck Accident Available Damages

Answer:

Truck accident cases are pretty prevalent in Northeast Florida. We have two paper mills in Nassau County. We have logging trucks that go up and down the roadways all day long, almost 24/7, tractor-trailer semis. We’re very close to Interstate 95 and Interstate 10, as well as major thoroughfares, so we have cases come through the office where people have been hurt as a result of the negligence of truckers.

The damages that you can claim are similar to other damages in other types of cases. You can claim your medical bills that you’ve incurred, for one. If you’ve lost time from work, you’ve lost wages, you’ve lost income, you can claim that, too. You can claim what we call intangible damages, also, or general damages that you’ve probably heard of such as pain and suffering; others maybe that you haven’t heard of such as inconvenience, loss of the capacity for the enjoyment of life. You can claim all of these damages up to the date that you come see me into the future if you have those.

We go through all of that with you. If you’ve been hurt in a trucking accident, sit down. Call us; we’ll sit down and go over your damages. We’ll go over all the other aspects of your cases to let you know what you can and can’t expect.
